Whip vs Godsword

Comparison analysis of Whip and Godswords and attempt to explain which weapon is ultimately a better one. The question truly is as old as Godswords are...

My personal impression is that Saradomin Godsword is better and more fun to use. I used to "whip" all monsters for a long time and, even when I bought Bandos Godsword, I kept using Whip for the most part. But then I switched from Bandos to Saradomin and got hooked. Both Whip and Guthans suddenly degraded in my eyes and now I am trying to use my godsword as much as I can. I still have to use Whip with dragons, but that's all right.

So give it a try one day, you might also like it.

What a surprising result, I have tested the whip and all god swords, I now own a couple of whips and a Bandos God sword.

The reason I own a Bandos and not any other is because God swords are carp, no comparison to the whip, the only place a god sword is better than a whip is at dark Beasts, that's the only reason I have it, god sword is slow and inaccurate, if you use a whip and you hit a zero you know you have another hit coming in a second, with god sword you know you probably have another zero coming eventually.

At abyssal demons I have killed 2 demons by the time a god swording warrior of the same stats has killed one, I took my Zammy to abbys and went back to get my whip half way through the task, it was embarrassing.

God sword is for show only that's why I never take mine out, im not a show off.

Thats why high level players use whip, you wont see many if any over 120 with a god sword for general training.

I prefer Using the whip with a rune defender 9 times out of 10 over the god sword.

I also agree its more of a staus thing too.

What Chief said.

It's been proven in this RS forum thread from some time back. The thread-maker used solid figures (attack speed straight from the Knowledge Base, str bonuses etc) and then made the necessary calculations to determine which weapon had the greater damage output. He did not simply assume which feature, strength or speed, outweighed the other.

In this featured article, however, the author seems to be basing his consensus on subjective criteria such as "boredom" and prices (money may not play a huge role for some people). He also failed to mention the exact speeds of either weapon.

The special attacks of the GS and the Whip are also immaterial in this argument, since players are better off using DDS specs which deal the most damage and take up only 25% of the Special Bar.

Well, I like Saradomin godsword special a lot and it plays a big role in why I prefer using it rather than whip now.

As for showing off, I am definitely not trying to impress others. But there might be an irrational element in me using the godsword too, simply because I like it.

I personaly like fast weps so the whipis good for me. im lvl 112 so i still dont hit that high. and the day i got my bandos gs i sold it. the whip is just faster and has more stable hits i got my gs i hit a 29 then a 39 then a 3. it was good for 2 hits it just sucks.and it just annoying that it takes 4 minutes to kill a mole. with a whip it takes like a minute

Welll.... Yeah, unless you consider the sarah sword as a GS. The only reason, even with the sarah sword to use it instead of a whip is the fact that you can train STR otherwise the GSes are useless. Heck, I destroyed my friend in PvP where we had same armour except i had whip/rune 'fender and he had bandos GS. I beat him by half my hp (30-40). (we were both same lvl, no prayer).

Online gaming are enjoyed by a variety of people. People enjoy online gaming for a variety of purposes including losing weight and relaxation. Figure out how you can have the best time gaming by using the article that follows.

If you have trouble taking breaks while gaming, start a 30-minute timer. If you continuously sit there and play all day long, it can make your body really tires and harm your body, which ends up causing you problems to your health in the future. A timer is a reminder to put the game on pause and take some time off.

Think about what age your kids have to be before they can play games rated M, or mature. Generally, you can set up your console so that kids can't play games that are too mature, although computers are a little harder to work with. It is important to understand how to protect your children.

If you have a kid and they get too aggressive when they play too many computer games, you may need to put them into some sort of a time out. Give him a 10-minute warming, and then call an end to the game. Suggested activities include exercise or playing outside. This will focus his mind on something less stressful.

These days, lots of games are transmitted online. There are a wide variety of downloadable games available for PCs, consoles, and smartphones. It s convenient, but it may cause you to spend more money than normal. Resist the temptation to make impulse gaming purchases, especially of big-ticket new releases. It is important to learn everything you can about a game prior to purchasing it.

Parents must always verify the ratings on games. A lot of games look like they are okay for kids, but they are not. It's important to not only check the rating, but also the actual objectionable material (e.g. language, suggestive themes) that caused it to get that rating.

If you are thinking about purchasing a online game for a child, you may want to look into what each ESRB rating means. These ratings help you learn what games are best for your kid's age level so that you can avoid inappropriate content. The ratings tell you which games are appropriate.

Use the highest grade video connection available. Most gaming systems come with a few different cables to maximize connectivity to many displays. What cables are you to use for the best gaming experience? If you can, use DVI or HDMI in order to obtain the best possible signal and picture. The second highest quality cable is S-Video. Coaxial connections, which are low quality, are the most commonly found connector. If coaxial is the only available choice, then use it as your last resort.

Use the subtitle feature. Is it the cast that the dialogue of the game is hard to understand because of all the gunfire and music? Check in the menu for a subtitles option. This can usually be found in the audio section of the game. You can generally find a setting here to toggle subtitles on and off.

You can get good deals by purchasing used video games. It is a good idea to buy a disc cleaner if you buy a lot of used games, though. You never understand what sort of shape your game will be in when you do this. If your discs are really dirty a good cleaning kit will help to restore them. It is a good idea to look at several cleaning disc options. There are many kits like this on the market.

Figure out how to operate the safety and parental controls of any gaming system that comes into your home. You can likely make adjustments that keep kids from viewing mature content. Some allow each gaming profile to be customized separately, allowing adults to enjoy games not meant for younger audiences.

Online gaming is a part of our yesterday, our today and our tomorrow. It's amazing how fast they grow in complexity. You can only dream of where video gaming will go in the future. It will be interesting to see what types of gaming systems you will be enjoying in the future.

Playing computer games can be a very fun activity and it is an activity that people from all around the world enjoy. The information in this article will help you navigate the world of video games without buying a poor game, or one that isn't age-appropriate.

Any game you give your child should be age-appropriate. You can do this easily by checking the game's front packaging or cover for the age rating. Some computer games focus on violence, which you should avoid.

If you want to sell your games on the Internet, you have to describe them in as much detail as possible. This description should include what type of condition the game is in and how it plays. Anyone who purchases this from you would like to be aware of these important details. By making your description as detailed as possible, you are increasing the odds that you'll sell your game.

Limit cheat codes for games requiring skill to play. This is something that you will want to avoid, as it defeats the purpose of the game itself. Some cheats can ruin your whole game but sports related codes are the exception - they enhance the experience.

When the gaming industry moves ahead, so do the gamers. Gamers expect low prices, instant access, and a large selection. When a new game releases, try waiting a few months. The prices of video gaming periodically get slashed as games loose their newness factor.

Learn all you can about the gaming console's content and safety settings. There is usually a setting to keep young children from accessing potentially inappropriate content. The most advanced systems will even give you the option to customize the settings for each user like a computer would.

Online Games have ratings. As a parent, you need to understand these ratings. Use this system to ensure you are purchasing age appropriate video games. Before buying your child a game, take a minute to look at the rating to make sure the game is age-appropriate.

Online Games can be used to get fit. Physical motion sensing technology is spreading through the industry. Today, you can get your exercise in through certain sports-related video games like yoga. You can get in shape at home doing this.

The PS2 is 12 years old and kind of outdated, but the one thing it has going for it is that it is very cheap. The games for this system are about half the prices of Xbox and PS3 games. There are also many more games available.

Try playing video games as a way to bond with your children. Gaming together is a fun and inexpensive way to get in some family time. It can also allow you to ensure that your kids aren't playing inappropriate games.

Figure out how to operate the safety and parental controls of any gaming system that comes into your home. You can likely make adjustments that keep kids from viewing mature content. Some allow each gaming profile to be customized separately, allowing adults to enjoy games not meant for younger audiences.

Computer Games are definitely here to stay. It's a great hobby and can keep your family and you entertained. If gaming sounds like something fun and interesting to you, then heed the advice you learned here, and use it whenever you take up this hobby.

There are so many options out there that I'm totally confused .. Any suggestions? Thanks!
